Thank you to everyone who trusted us with a talk, workshop, demo, performance, experience, panel, or something without a name yet.
Pitches for Futureproof Festival 2026 closed on August 15. We read every submission, the program is set, and every person who pitched gets a personal answer. If yours has not arrived, email hello@bc-ai.ca.
Closing the form was the easy part. The real job was reading the work, making human decisions, and replying without leaving anybody wondering what happened.
Why this oneThe call closed in August. We read carefully, made human decisions, and answered the people who trusted us with an idea.
01
We read every proposal
The full idea, the work behind it, and the shape it could take on a live stage. A score helped us compare unlike things, but it never made the decision.
02
We built the program
We looked across talks, workshops, demos, performances, experiences, panels, and the formats that still do not have names.
03
Everybody gets an answer
Every person who submitted by the August 15 deadline hears from us directly. No black hole. If you have not heard, email hello@bc-ai.ca.
Stay close to the work
The program is up.
Every talk and every Q&A is on the program page, with the speakers beside it. If you missed the call, you can still be there for the conversation.
Futureproof brings people together to compare what AI is really doing across culture, public life, creative work, research, and the things people are building now.
